DEACONATE ORDINATION

In this coming Sunday 14^th, Brother Deem S. Virtudazo will be ordained deacon as the last step in his preparation to priesthood. The event will take place in Saint John’s the Evangelist parish, in Nakuru under presidency of the Most Reverend Bishop Maurice Muhatia Makumba, current bishop of Nakuru diocese.

Together with Bro Deem, as Calabrian Family – Saint Joseph Mission, we are living this special moment with joy and thanksgiving to the Lord whom continually calls the people to serve his Kingdom. May he grant to Brother Deem strength and enthusiasm to live with faithfulness this special call. Brother Deem comes from Philippines and is in our mission since 2012.

PRAYER FOR OUR SPIRITUAL FAMILY

Lord God, all Powerful Father, look with benevolence on us, members of this Spiritual Family; grant us your life and fill us with your Spirit, to respond faithfully to your call.
O lord, preserve us in your love, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Queen of the Apostles, of St. Joseph, of St. John Calabria and all our patrons.
Send us brothers, sisters and lay people with apostolic spirit that united in only one family we may believe in you and your word.
Grant that free from all earth worries, with full trust in your Providence, and in communion with those who represent you, we may be ready to do your will and to suffer with Christ so that the souls may welcome your holy Kingdom. Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. JOHN CALABRIA

O God, our Father, we praise you for your Providence with which you govern the universe and our life. We thank you for the gift of evangelical holiness granted to your servant Fr. John Calabria.
On his example, desirous only of the coming of your kingdom, we abandon to you our worries.

Through the intercession of St. John Calabria grant us the favour, which we ask from you with confidence...
